- TEAC Turntable
- I have relocated to Asia and was unable to ship my LPs and this LP to CD recorder was just the ticket. Ease of use after a few trys and quality much better than previous TEAC 350(?). After recording to CD I was able to digitalize them using my computer. Only problem was the lack of time B4 my move.

- a nice machine
- I purchased this to convert some 78s and LPs to CDs for my mother. It has good sound (I am not an audiophile), tracks well. It is cheaply made (most everything is these days), but does what it is advertised to do. Do not bother with the automatic tracking. I used manual track advancement as most LPs have plenty of background noise or no break between songs. The included remote proved very handy. Many people don't like these as they record all the "pops" etc. I found if I clean the records well, even an 80 year old 78 sounds fine. Buy the extra needles (stl 103), and plenty of AUDIO CDs. I only ruined one (not following instructions) by turning off the machine before finalizing the disc. It has inputs but no outputs, built in radio, but no tape player. Required little set-up preparation.

- TEAC LP-R400 CD Recorder
- This is an excellent product. It is so easy to use I only needed to read the "Quick Start" manual, and away I went. Almost no settings are really needed. Works intuitively. One thing it cannot do easily is to distinguish between successive record tracks. Most records are not quiet enough in the spaces between the tracks for the sutomatic track making system to work well, but all that means is that the CD recorder treats each side of the record as a single track. Unless you want to spot individual tracks of the record separately then it is not a problem. You can always watch the recording and manually insert the tracks as they happen, but that seems a waste of time this device saves you. Software prodcues a nice digital sound.

Easy to operate. Instructions generally good. Tone arm operating mechanism is flimsy. Sound transfer quality is excellent. Get the replacement stylus. You will need it. - 2008-05-14, 7 of 7 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great Product - so glad we purchased it!
- I purchased this for my husband's 50th birthday. He had many old albums just sitting around but no turntable to play them on or a way to record them on to CD. Since his birthday in April, he's been recording like mad and it's going great. It is easy to use and the sound quality is very good. I gave it 4 stars only because you do have to sit and manually push a button to make tracks on the CD. Supposedly it will do it automatically but in his attempts to do so it has worked sometimes and not others so you end up with 2 songs on a track instead of just 1. Overall though, we are really enjoying it! I had some old 78s that my parents had recorded in college around 1948 or 49 (my mom singing beautifully!) and was able to play and record those to CD. That was a real treasure to find and be able to share with our family since my dad passed away and my mom has alzheimers. This is a great buy!
